It's All Over Now

Well baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
Hurt, my eyes open, baby that's no lie
Tables turning now, it's her turn to cry

Chorus
Because I used to love her
But it's all over now
Yes I used to love her
But it's all over now

Well I used to wake in the morning get my breakfast in bed
When I got worried she would ease my aching head
Well now she's here and there with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown

[chorus]

Well she used to run around with every man in town
Spending all my money playin' her high fast games
Put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turning now, it's her turn to cry

[chorus]

Well baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
Hurt, my eyes open, baby that's no lie
Tables turning now, it's her turn to cry

Roots
The song was written by Booby Womack and recorded by him with members of his family in a group called the Valentinos in March 1964 on Sam Cooke's SAR Records.
It was a minor hit, reaching #21 on the R&B Charts and #63 on the Pop Charts.
It was soon overshadowed by the Roling Stones' recording.
The only available version of the Valentino's recording that I have found in on a box set "Sam Cooke's SAR Records Story" - though Bobby Womack recorded several subsequent versions himself.

The Rolling Stones seem to have heard the Valentinos recording when the disc jockey "Murray the K" played it to them in New York in June 1964, and suggested they might cover it.
Bobby Womack was subsequently quoted as saying:

"I was very angry about it. I knew their record was going to go far, and our version was going to quit.
Sam Cooke put me straight. He said, 'Bobby, one day this is gonna be history. Them boys are gonna be huge,
and you'll be glad because you'll be the writer whose song broke 'em in this country.'
When I saw the first check, I was shocked. It was huge."
